Nirbhaya case: Fresh death warrant to be issued against convicts today

A Delhi court on Thursday is set to pronounce a new death warrant for the four convicts in the 2012 Nirbhaya gangrape and murder case. The order by the court is due for 2 pm today. The development comes after President Ram Nath Kovind had rejected the mercy petition of Pawan Gupta -- one of the convicts in the Nirbhaya case. Earlier on Wednesday, a plea was moved in a Delhi court, seeking fresh death warrant for the execution of the four convicts, contending that the convicts have exhausted all the legal remedies.
